what sandy does is make it immediate, specific, direct and targeted. so, i want to ask the congressman and you about the evidence shows you knew this was going to happen and so, therefore, what happens in 2100 is specific as well, but how do you move beyond the politics so that people pressure makes it more potential legislation? >> congressman, yeah, is there any hope of forward movement in, say, a house dominated by the republican party for political movement on this? >> look it, congress is a stimulus response institution. there's nothing more stimulating than watching night after night, day after day, millions of people paralyzed along the east coast. this is going to have the same impact that 9/11 had on how we protect ourselves here domestically. it will have the same impact that the bp oil spill had in ensuring that we don't ever again have the same lax safety standards and oil drilling off our coastline. this is a game changer. and i agree with what the gentleman said, because this is no longer just a hollywood blockbuster the day after tomorro
